FEA preprocessors when loads and meshes must survive structural review

Custom FEA preprocessors — solid/shell meshing, loads, contacts, and materials — for airframe structural analysis products.

Built for: airframe structures teams, UAV FEA desks, structural CAE ISVs, and university labs worldwide

Why OEMs commission custom solvers

Structural programmes stall when shell idealisations, bolt regions, and contact pairs are rebuilt from scratch each gate. FEA prep needs a product surface — not a hero mesh engineer.

Hendoi builds custom FEA preprocessors — solid/shell meshing, load cases, contacts, and material cards — scoped to airframe and UAV structures.

Structures leads get English docs, acceptance meshes, and IP ownership for tools juniors can run before solver submission.

Industrial pain points we remove

Shell vs solid debates without templatesIdealisation rules must be written into the product.
Contact pairs that only seniors can setFriction, clearance, and ties need guided workflows.
Load cases scattered across spreadsheetsManoeuvre and ground loads belong in the prep UI.
Material cards diverge by projectLaminate and metal cards need controlled libraries.

Frequently asked questions

Composites supported?

Yes — ply/laminate setup can be first-class when on the roadmap.

Explicit dynamics prep?

Impact and bird-strike style case packs can be phased after static prep.

CAD import?

We scope STEP/IGES and your CAD kernel hooks in the workshop.

Global teams?

English milestone demos for structures and programme leads.
